The wonder of it all...

"I'll never get tired of looking at this. The wonder of it all - the wastefulness of Creation, as one of our brothers has called it. So elegant, so full of longing and beauty even now." (p. 113)

After a particularly challenging week I was sitting on the front porch Sunday morning and heard a strange buzzing sound. When I looked up I saw a beautiful hummingbird hovering and staring right at me. And then in a split second it was gone. I knew instantly what that was and felt so very grateful.
